Welcome Team
Do you love meeting new people? If a warm smile and friendly eye contact come naturally to you, we'd love for you to serve with the Welcome Team!

One sweet blessing of being in our new building has been seeing more new faces walk through our doors each Sunday! In just the first few services, our Welcome Team has had more opportunities than usual to connect with guests who are looking to learn more about the church and get connected. To help serve these newcomers well, we're looking to add a few more people to our Welcome Team. Please reach out to our hospitality deacons if interested: Alyssa Brewer lyssa.brew@gmail.com or Andy Schmitt andyschmitt17@gmail.com
